Whats your most pathetic or embarrasing moment you have experienced while playing Wipeout HD.:dizzy:dizzy

Mine are

1 Losing a online venom race.I didnt even get a DNF i got a DNS "Did not start" cos my pad died on the start line just as the race was about to start.

2 Taking over 3 hours to finish a single game of the zone cos i talk to much and still didnt get to zone zeus

3 The most pathetic moment has to be getting killed on a speed lap.I was under the impression it was impossible to die on speed laps, but somehow i managedto pull it off

Dying in Zone on Syncopia at Zone 10 -- I'm was pretty aggressive with my barrel rolls on the first few laps resulting in shield of 0 and accidentally tapped the wall around the last turn :brickwall

boosting past motorsagmannen just before the finish line, getting shot and eliminated by a SINGLE ROUND from his cannon ( also his last bullet ) watching chunks of my Auricom fly across the finish line, and respawning just in time for 5th place. Awesome yet pathetic.

Anulpha pass - Went to go the top way, but lost control, and decided to take the fatter lower path. However bashed into a support beam and was thrown backwards a few 100 feet or so! and it was online mode lol

I was en route to getting the 'Comeback King' badge online after getting plasmafied in the first lap and reclaiming first spot on Chenghou Project phantom, and on the last lap, with 2 seconds advantage over the closest craft, I barrel rolled off the big drop before the final chicane... and missed the track entirely. Ended up in 6th place.

Being first in an online race on Talons Junction Reverse.
Coming up to the start line on lap four.
Touching the left wall just a little.
Hitting the only spot where the wall collisions are ****ed up on Talons Junction.
Flying upwards for fifty million years, three people pass you.
Use your turbo while in the air to try to catch up again.
Somehow the start/finish line panel is solid, unlike on the normal HD tracks.
Hit it, bounce backwards again.
By now everyone has passed you.

Finish the race in sixth place.

wow some really pathetic moments there.

Dying on syncopia at zone 10:clap:clap

Saturns pit stop down the bottom of a pit.(could he have done that if he wanted too...probally not)

DD pathetic moment wasnt too pathetic cos to still came 5th shows he is great at comebacks.

better than DNS (did not start..like i got online):nod:nod

wanted to drop bomb to protect from incoming missile
but did it too late, bomb not dropped, missile destroyed me, and my destroyed ship went into mines.
then respawning near a weapon pad, i wanna drop bomb to get my new weapon (and not finish last) and go
but my engines were still down when i respawned because of the mines i hit when i died(btw that needs a fix!)
so, bomb dropped on my own face xD then i was rammed by the last contender = destroyed 2 times!
nice firework! i should have absorbed

I think my most pathetic moment was in one of my first eliminator races - I dropped mines, flipped 180 degrees, then drifted backwards into my own mines and destroyed myself. *cringe*

You ask all the best questions Jasmin! :D

Edit: Actually, just realised I posted this wrong. I flipped 180 degrees, then went FORWARDS over my own mines and destroyed myself - even more pathetic :S

6th August 2009, 10:25 PM
LOL! Almost the exact same thing happened to me on Talon's Junction too, Darkdrium777, but it was during the 8-round tournament on phantom speed on the last grid. First I got thrown up a mile into the air, and - in a moment of supreme enlightenment - I performed a barrel roll to try and make up for the 5 second loss that bounce would mean. Well, the speed boost was just good enough to launch me off the track and somehow I respawned facing a speed pad that would keep throwing me off the track (much like the one before the drop on Chenghou Project). By the time I got out of the chaotic vicious cycle, I was down to 8th from 1st, with 10 seconds to make up. Then came the plasma that hit me in the very same tournament on Modesto Reverse while I was behind(!) the AI ship that fired it, and ended up getting rammed to death.

At that moment, for the first time, I threw my controller (not at the cat, though, 'twas just some pillows), something I never thought I'd do. :rolleyes::evil

All in all, I only managed bronze in the tournament due to these two dismal races, but the second try saw me get elite gold by a convincing 15-point margin.

I thought I'd have no competition, but sny, username, jimsin and TheDukeZip are all tough competition. I think I've been beaten.

Darkdrium777's and Spece2goin's are more just insanely unfortunate. But still entertaining :).

I over compensated on Modesto Reverse once on the final turn, got turned around and raced a lap backwards before realizing that I Was racing the wrong way.

Now thats what im talking about. A truley pathetic moment..made even more pathetic as you are one of the best players around and bought into doing a whole lap the wrong way around:nod:nod:nod

Can anyone really top that one.:clap

It was. I'd completely forgotten what happened later on in that video (http://www.wegame.com/watch/Team_Nordic_vs_The_Flying_Dutchmen_WipEout_HD_Vine ta_K_Reverse/) too. At about 1min30secs I find myself humping the wall in the second tunnel, and then at 1min45secs I did exactly the same as the first thing at 54 secs all over again:brickwall:brickwall:brickwall:brickwall. I thought one or two people here had me beaten on the pathetic moment front, but after seeing myself do it twice in the same race, I'm really not so sure. I wonder if that was the day I stopped using FEISAR.:|

Has to be a doubles match against Saturn and TCK. Out of 16 races I didn't win a single one :paperbag.

I don't think I have recovered yet from that. I've never raced another one since. Infact they pushed me into semi-retirement. Bastards :p.

SaturnReturn
9th August 2009, 11:26 PM
Aw :( Come back KGB. I haven't seen you around much at all recently. I wouldn't say that was pathetic anyway. I've been in other doubles matches where I haven't done too well and TCK has shown me up. All it takes is for one person to have an off day while the other is on form and the results can swing heavily in one's favour.

Anyway, I'm glad to see your name popping up a bit more on the forums again. :)

No super pathetic moment.......

I was playing wipeout pulse today.....yes i know this is HD but i cant be starting a identical throead elsewhere..

Anyway later when i calmed dosn i played again and suddenly realised when i looked at my ship i had both air brakes configured to one button...:dizzy:dizzy

I fixed it so air brakes were on both buttons now i win everything..it took whole day to work this out..:donut:donut:donut:donut:donut:donut

I've had one recently, was in a game on Sebenco Rev. I was fighting to stay in first and I blow up just before the finish because my shields were gone from br. I tapped the part where the wall bend in slightly just befor the final curve. I finished in fourth of about 6. TT oh well.

Raced 1 hour last week, loosing every single race.
Had a sign on me: kick me! (and they did...)

Then i saw, my grandson turned pilot assist on, when he
visited that day.
It was to see in the middle below and i did NOT check it:!

turned it off and kicked some xss.:rock

pathetic moments in WO ?

13th August 2009, 08:21 PM
LOL brummpahh :)

I know I've had many pathetic moments, but I'm having trouble remembering my most pathetic moment. While I continue mulling that over, I'll present you with a pathetic moment(s) that does come to mind:

The many times I've chosen to use a turbo in a spot where I know to absolutely NOT use it, resulting in my ship smashing into a wall or ceiling. This has occurred on Ubermall, Sebenco and Chengou, for sure. Just as I finish hitting the button, I always think to myself, "Why did I do that?!". Impatience? Stubborness? Stupidity? Regardless of the answer, it is a truly pathetic maneuver. :dizzy

13th August 2009, 08:24 PM
happened quite a while ago but its still pathetic..Couldnt play wipeout hd cos i couldnt find the disk.
I was only fooled for about 15 minutes before i discovered there was never a disk...i downloaded it.



To be honest i personally think the most pathetic moment has to be Vart crashing and completing the whole race backwards..wow thats dumb.:nod:nod.even i wouldnt fall for that one.

25th August 2009, 12:45 PM

One time on an Chenghou Project offline race, I crashed very badly and my ship began pointing down nearly orthogonally, hitting continously against the track.
If I remember well, it was on that loong curve just before the tunnel (not the long tunnel just before the starting line, the very short tunnel before that one)
It stayed like that for about 10-20 seconds, while about every contender was passing me.

I should've earned some stunt trophy for that !:p

edit : terrible typo

22nd September 2009, 01:14 AM
Got a few, but the worst I can think of just now is during my first run around metropia on phantom I overshot the same turn and smashed off the same pillar 4 out of the 5 laps. Did a lot of backwards distance off that pillar :(.

My pathetic moment was reaching zone 74 a million times on Syncopia for Zeus attemps.
One try I automatically started barrel rolling after a perfect lap @zone 72 :(

edit: and 1 try my time was 12:30.32 where zone 75 starts @12:30.00. Didn't got my trophy on that one, luckily I could just hold on and not destroying my controller and TV

Mine had to be an online race on Sol 2 Reverse. I hit 2 out of 5 mines and fell off the edge. I respawned and hit the 3rd and 4th mine, and fell off again. Then, I fell off for a 3rd time after respawning and hitting the 5th mine!

Either launching myself off the same point in Metropia Reverse about 6 times in a row, or turboing off the bump in the track in the middle section of Ubermall, sailing beautifully over the chicane, and then instead of landing back on the track, smacking the wall above with enough force to send me back to where I started.

I managed to be turned upside down at the hairpin in the Amphiseum. Was boosting to avoid a missile, hit the wall sideways and flipped over. Then the game thought it would be nice to respawn me upside. Again and again and again. I eventually cursed aloud and left the game.

Mine was very similar, boosting over the magstrip in Amphiseum a little too early, hitting the overhang, and falling backwards. Lost about 30 seconds? It felt pretty long.

If anyone wants to make fun of the Fury AG-Systems, use this picture.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v718/psients/wohd_20091027_233140.jpg

Although, on a different lap, I actually boosted even further and went through the top of the building, taking several very interesting pictures of different parts of the track. Normally they can't be seen all together, so it puts things into perspective and proportion.

The distance between pathetic and cool can be so close sometimes. "Oh yeah, uh, I meant to do that." :)

Mine too, I managed to do a 99 lap race trying to barrel roll up the ramp on every single lap with just 1 successful try and 98 fails :mad: and of course it's still the only trophy I lack.

And yesterday I managed to blow up three times in the tunnel on modesto heights on the first lap, first due to a lot of collision with other ships in the start then mines two times in a row.

@yeldar: It was a just bad luck. I was on Metrophia forward with Zoth this morning. Last lap, bevor the finishline I had a plasma und just as I flew over the last weapon-pad I fired the plasma and in the same second I hit the weapontrigger again, without to see, what weapon I got. It was a turbo and it pushed me into the plasma.
The Plasma didnt exploded but my Ship had fire on its back.

With a little luck it should be easy to do this again ^_^

Stupid little things like lining up a good missile shot then all of a sudden forgeting which button it is to fire and absorbing:turd

My most pathetic moment would have to be racing on Ubermall & boosting right into the portion of the track where it splits into a fork with low energy & then eliminating myself. :"> :P

Does it count if I saw someone else's pathetic moment? If so, I was online today in a race with Dark Phantom 89, Unctuous, and some others, and this one player (His name escapes me) eliminates himself with his own missile. He didn't lock on, and it was in the really bendy part of Modesto. It was hilarious! I was lapping him as this happened (he was in 8th, and I was in 6th trailing really badly), but I couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for him.

My MIRAGE was being retarded because it loves to make friends with walls during online races. :bomb

Here is my, maybe not a most pathetic moment in WHD, but for sure it was interesting experience. Listen...
Once upon a time <fwd><fwd><fwd><play> and I was rusted, but my teammates want's me to join, so, why not. First race, "Welcome on board tri" BANG BANG, 2 deaths... Not too often You can die twice in one race. 2nd race, "How You feel tri?" BANG BANG, 2 deaths... What the f#$^%!!! Who turns <Kill tri mode> ??? 3th race was calm, and in 4th I died once again. In first 4 races of evening I died 5 times... In online races not eliminator...

It was one of those evenings that follow "Bad-WO-Days". Similar to the "Bad-Hair-Days".
I have done a few laps on SOL2, when I fell off this certain bridge (once again) on full speed. For a non-obvious reason, I just could not take my thumb off the gas - probably the shock - and so I rushed down the abyss incredible five times (!) in a row from the same point! :redface:
It was so embarassing, even when you consider that I simply had to get back on the line, without giving full throttle constantly...
There was something unintentionally funny about that situation.

I dunno about pathetic, but it certainly was infinitely annoying and hilarious all at once: online racing on Sol 2 reverse, was leading for the majority of the 3 lap venom race in my Icaras, only to be passed by an AG-Sys with a turbo boost, who subsequently smashed into the first corner after the finish line and promptly exploded victoriously all over the track.

First reaction: :bomb

Second reaction: :lol

I recently started playing HD... I played the campaign for 3 days and then, today, went online... I keep oversteering and hitting the walls before the turn. That's because I'm used to the early versions of Wipeout in which the ship slides.

Well, while I was playing online with Danterich, I had a server error, of which I didn't know until it ejected me from the online race. Well, what happened was I saw all the ships banging in a wall and suddenly I was in first place! I was completelly thrilled because I always came in last place with the Fastest Lap or Highest Speed thingy. But then the warning message came and I was ejected from the session... I was like: :eek and then :lol

My pathetic moments:

- fall of on Sebenco Climb rev "snake", and being respawned about 6 times in just 2 sec (it was an big bug in game)

- just like the other player here... being destroyed on speed lap (chenghou project x2 - flash)

- falling of the track 3 times in row on moa therma rev before 2nd mag strip (where 2 weapon and 1 speed pads is)

- on ubermall being eliminated before "big kitty" and finished by him (by his big hand... why i wasn't recording it)

- hit 2 bombs in row that are near themselfs (fall in one and being pushed to the 2nd one)

- leave bomb on first lap and hit the same one in 2nd lap

- hit the flower pot 3 times during race on ubermall rev while trying (now i just don't try to do this one) to do barrel roll with boost, sometimes on forward i hit it

- fall of the track on amphiseum rev (not becouse of "window"), on big jump before finish line, 1st time on right side, 2nd time on left side, then after making (finally) barrel roll down the track hit the wall on turn...

and the last one... being destroyed by quake when flying over first shortcut on ubermall

there were more pathetic moments (many of them), but... i don't remember them (or i don't want to...)

EDIT: i remembered one... having two same controllers on table and picking the wrong one when the race starts...
EDIT2: this happened today on talons junction reverse, i've turned to early on this hard turn and hit a wall, when trying to continue race i've end up racing in opposite direction. turning back took me 6 sec :/

Ah, can't remember exactly the scene but it was pathetic...
I was racing and got out of track (or maybe eliminated, doubt) just after lauching a bomb... I respawned I got hit by my own bomb... :blarg

Serial respawns on chengou reverse rapier. Felt like groundhog day. Then I decided to hold both airbrakes to stop it and ended up getting lifted into the air so I BRd. And ended up serial respawning a little bit further down from before. I rage quit just as I get lapped and throw my pad into the bin in disgust. I realised I threw my half finished cheesecake in there about half hour before and jumped to get the pad out. The pad comes out with bits of banoffee cheescake stuck to it. And yeah you guessed it.

Well this thread did say pathetic :D

(pad did get a clean after with a wetwipe I'm not lying) :D

Eliminator mode. Sol 2. Novice difficulty. Speed class Venom. Flying Icaras.
I got nailed by a plasma bolt.
Tears came rolling down my cheeks.
(more salt to my wounds: it was a FEISAR that nailed me)

Single Race. Ubermall, reversed. Elite difficulty. Phantom speed. Flying Harimau, cause I was bored.
I get a turbo. I use it.
In an attempt to get in a cheeky barrel roll, I do the most epic AG-racer equivalent to a face plant into the high wall right after the home straight.
I double facepalm at my utter incompetence, shamed that I did something even the most craziest of pilots would never even think of doing.
(I did this plenty of times with the back straight of Sebenco Climb too...)

Just had one moment on Anulpha Pass Reverse, performed the barrel roll before the last corner, landed on top of the guys ahead of me and the boost flung me off the track. Such BS xD
